I didn't say it was the right way,
Come to think of it, if I'd do it it's guaranteed to be wrong

I lubed and pushed, until it was all the way in

Lol. I was just cautioning the op. He was asking about jumpering the relay and other things before we knew what schematic to use.

Sounds like he's on the right track now.

Closing the loop on this saga.

Looks like the fuel pump coincidentally died at the same time. Once everything dried out I had spark at the plugs again, but no fuel pump. Mechanic confirmed dead pump, replaced it out and I'm back on the road.

Thanks all for helping me try to figure this one out.

Much appreciate the follow up. We get quite a few threads that end up with no solution which sucks as it could help someone down the road.

Glad you got it back up and running.
